Encomium
Yorubas delight in giving their children names that connote deep meaning. Some are given based on what the couples passed through before having a child or even the battles the woman fought at the delivery room. Some names depict the awesomeness of God.
Here are some of the trendy names Yorubas christen their children now…

And we spoke to those eho christened their children with funky names…
Mrs Aina
I waited for ten years before having her. I just wanted a name deep enough to express my gratitude to God. That was why I gave my daughter
Oluwatikararesemilore.
Mrs Esther
It was difficult conceiving after I had my first child. Even when I became pregnant again, it was all negative reports. I eventually had him through C.S and we almost lost him so I gave him Eninlaloluwa.
Mrs Ajayi
I named my daughter Oluwafikayomi because I had a delay of six years
between my first child and the second one. When I had her, I gave her that name to show that God has added to my joy.
